that code is for the mass air flow sensor. That sensor takes the temperature of the air going into the engine and sends it to the computer. the faster the engine is reved up the more air flows past it making it cooler... the signal sent to the computer is used by the computer to regulate fuel and timing etc. when that sensor gets dirty the computer cannot tell if the engine is running or not. SO. it won't give it more fuel to increase the RPM's. to fix this problem, you can remove it and clean it with a non oily cleaning solution that will not leave residue. something like pure alcohol in a squirt bottle is perfect. I suggest not touching it with a cloth or anything like that. they are extremely sensitive. it is locates in the air pipe going from the air filter box to the engine air inlet. sometimes they are right on the air inlet. when you see it, it will resemple some kind of light bulb with the glass taken off it. some look like a really fine hair, while others look like a resistor out of an old radio. either way it is delicate.

Go to autozone.com, they have vacuum diagrams. Register your vehicle, it's free. Click on "vehicle repair guides". Click the emissions link, I believe, then in the left column click vacuum diagrams.
